Led by the college band and white-clad Richard Brown, Tech ' s All - American baton- twirl er, Homecoming paraders strut briskly down Ruston thorough- lares prior to the loot- ball game. Turning right into Trenton street is the prize-winning float of the physical education department, which was adjudged as best en¬ tered in the Homecom¬ ing parade. Circling the color!ul Blue Jackets, pep squad composed of picked girls, the well-drilled Tech band marches into one of its fancy formations between halves of the game, preparatory to playing the Alma Mater. In pre-game ceremonies Queen Alice hands the foot¬ ball to be used in the contest to Captain Huey Wil¬ liamson. Eddie McLane, director of the Bulldogs, looks on. Now if that tackle had kept out that guard . . says ex-linesman Houston Beaumont to Fred Miller, former Tech athlete, as they leave the Homecoming dance long enough to rehash the afternoon ' s game with Coach Herb Duggins.

Selected by a critical group of Tech lettermen, lovely Alive Crow of Ruston reigned as gueen over the college ' s annual Homecoming day celebration, as hundreds of alumni of the Red and Blue poured into town, reviving memories and renewing friend¬ ships. Although her Bulldog gridiron army fought valiantly, and on several occasions pushed the pig¬ skin within inches of victory, they were repeatedly repulsed by a pack of Southeastern Lions. The game ended in a scoreless tie. HOMECOMING DA The gueen and her maids watched the game from a vantage spot on the west sidelines. In the front row are, left to right, ' Miss Nell Hester and Miss Jacgueline Talbert and in the second row Miss Dorothy Lee Stodghill and Miss Nancy Abney Barnes. Regal Alice sits to the rear of her ladies-in-waiting.

Queen Marjorie Stevenson and her consort, King James Hill Cook. Mardi Gras Selected by popular vote of the student body, mellifluent Marjorie Stevenson of Shreveport, was chosen to reign over Tech ' s annual Mardi Gras celebration, which is modeled after the famed New Orleans festivities. As her regal companion she selected James Hill Cook of Grand Cane. Maids for the occasion, also chosen by popular ballot, included Virginia Frazier, Amy Sue Fur- low, Emogene Maroney and Cathryn Mullis. They picked for their knights Matt Redmond, Jimmy Briggs, Pete Levert and Carl Jordan, respectively. Below, dancers whirl gaily beneath a canopy of varied-colored crepe paper at the ball which high-lighted and ended the day ' s frolic.
